The solar installation was done professionally but they never notified united energy of the installation. Unfortunately AGL can’t process anything until they are notified. I was assured after reading previous bad reviews about this that they have fixed their processes. I guess taking their word for it wasn’t a wise decision

Do not use them terrible rude customer service damage your car and try and deny it. Kia got them with video evidence. Use at your own risk. Had to have a bran new dash in a bran new car. Terrible company.

We were told that it was not possible to replace the glass that was there as one unit due to regulations and installed two pieces but there were other suppliers that said they could do in one piece. That also took 4 months to replace the wrong glass and now we are waiting again for the correct size. They also broke our reception cabinet and we are still waiting for that to be fixed. Do not recommend them.

I went to the Tullamrine branch on 21/08 to replace my windscreen, the job number is J14166579. They didn’t precisely installed the new windscreen, its position is lower than where it should be. And because of this the wiper cowl got pushed down and cracked at the two ends, left and right. I argued this and they tried to disavow by saying the cracks are not caused by them. I got really angry and finally they said they can't do anything about it. They could order a part to fix my car, or could give me a refund so I can fix my car at somewhere else, what do they mean they can't do anything?? Advertisement doesn’t reflect their quality and altitude, don’t use their service.

I called OBriens for a quote. They came back with a quote of $700, told them I’d found another quote for $360 from a competitor so wasn’t interested. First they told me they could do me a discount and quoted $520 then when I said it was still too much they said the competitor would likely be poor quality and I should use them. That I was taking a big risk and they’d use inferior materials. I ignored the salesman’s fear mongering and went with the competitor booking. When the fitter turned up he said he was an ex OBriens employee and had left th...
Read moreeir business because he was being underpaid. He told me he uses exactly the same glass, glue and seals and did a brilliant job. Very disappointed with OBriens for trying to pressure me into an over priced sale under false assumptions about a competitor just to secure the sale. Customers beware- Timeliness

After spending some months perusing a replacement rear windscreen, Windscreen' O'Brien carefully and with significant technical expertise removed then installed the new windscreen under complex installation requirements. The complex installation required photographs to ensure the rear door central locking reassembly would go back together without undue delays

Booked in for a stone chip repair. Said they would be out between 2pm and 5pm. Great! Credit card payment in advance (mistake). Now 6:30 pm and no sign of them. They have a phone number and email but no contact. After lengthy hold on their 24/7 number they have rebooked in 5 days time. Will never use again.

The call centre has no idea about what's going on and never call you back when they promise to. I have been told the delay is with the dealer waiting for calibration and then the glass isn't even in Australia yet. Still no glass 4 months on.

Great Business to deal with from start to finish. I was extremely impressed with their service and Plumber named "Guy" was very professional and hard working AND cleaned up everything perfectly before he left that was impressive! Thankyou to Guy

Thanks for your feedback Tania! I'm glad our plumbing experts could help you.
Stupidly, I booked O'Brien's Glass without doing any research or comparative quotes. After booking in for a windscreen and wiperblade replacement fitted for $870 I thought to myself " that's a bit dear for what I remember a replacement costs". I looked around and found a competitor to be less than half of the initial quote given by O'Brien's. I was embarrassed I'd blindly booked this in without gaining a quote first. Upon cancellation of the service they sheeply offered a $195 discount!

Calling the narional booking service.
I rang to ask for a price but some how the lady with an accent thought I was lining up at a carnival store or something. She tried to give me a price then dropped it by 25% and told me I was the luckiest person and she was shocked at the price she rambled on and insisted on me giving my card details over as soon as I could to lock in the great deal. I told her that I wanted to pay on the day and she said ok just pay a deposit. I said no thanks and she got even more intense. I then told her she sounds like...

To be fair we cannot comment on the quality of this company’s work .We engaged them for a quote for a new larger hot water system which we eventually did not replace . He was there for about 15 minutes and then sent a quote via email.Travelling time was minimal as well .
The bill for this was a staggering $178 ! We emailed back asking if this was the correct price for just a quote and the curt reply was just ‘Yes it is !.
I totally understand that businesses have to charge for their time and overheads and we have no problem with that, but I...

Read moreope this helps, and you'll have a crystal clear windscreen in no time! :)O’Brien, why don’t you be honest and transparent and change your policy about telling customers about installing after market windscreens? Why should we have to specifically ask you for a genuine one that is covered by our insurance? How are we supposed to know about aftermarket ones if you don’t let us know??? Are the insurance companies paying you bonuses?? That would be an interesting investigation! And stop telling us about how your aftermarket ones are the same quality, can’t you tell from all the feedback they are not!!! Another deceived customer, with an aftermarket screen that is so distorted and not sealed properly!!!
So it’s not just me that had this experience
And they tried to tell me that it was my car a new Subaru that was the problem

Read moreeen told many times before causes significant problems with the sensorsO’Brien recommended to replace my Mazda windscreen and said everything is covered part of my insurance. I was very happy and said yes. But they didn’t tell me it would be a aftermarket xyg glass. I realised this after one of the car repairer pointed to me by saying this is a aftermarket windscreen.
I think I have been cheated by O’Brien by hiding the fact to me.
Don’t you think now O’Brien should replace my windscreen to genuine Mazda free of cost for not telling me the replacement windscreen is not going to be genuine Mazda?
If not to whom I can escalate this?

Read more but your technician suggested to go with insurance. He took my policy details and checked in his system and told me everything is covered and I don't need to pay anything for the replacement windscreen. But why did not he tell me, the replacement windscreen is going to be an aftermarket one but not original Mazda? Do not you think, it is misleading or deceptive conduct by your technician? If he could have told me then I would have just repaired or should have asked him to go with original windscreen instead of aftermarket product.Hey SNP I agree very deceptive. Going thru a similar issue!! Got a generic Chinese import instead of genuine Skoda windscreen. Was told I needed to ask for that. Chinese one cost $894 and all distorted and not sealed properly as wind coming in! Cate
